The below is partially for curiosity, as CX500 and GL500 camshafts are interchangeable. The MA1 camshafts provide slightly better performance and are listed as a part which supersedes the original 415 unit. To see the numbers at 0mm and 1mm lift for the various camshafts, see here.
| CX500, CDI models | 14100-415-000 14100-415-010 14100-415-020 14100-415-030 |
| CX500, TI models | 14100-MA1-000 |
| CX400EC Sports | 14100-MA1-000 |
| CX500EC Sports | 14100-MA1-000 |
| GL500 | 14100-MA1-000 |
| CX650/GL650 | 14100-ME2-000 |
| CX500TC Turbo | 14100-MC7-000 |
| CX650 Turbo | 14100-ME7-000 |
Examples of TI CX500s include the '82 Custom in the USA and the '82 Shadow in Australia. The camshaft is one of a number of changes made when TI was introduced into the CX range - others include a different clutch basket and oil pump.
While it does fit, there's no point to using a 500 camshaft in a 650 or vice-versa - here's a pic of them side by side. A 500 cam in a 650 motor risks the valves colliding with the piston, and a 650 camshaft has a more relaxed profile so it would actually decrease performance in a 500 motor.
